    You can use the filter "http.request.method == POST" to narrow down the POST requests in wireshark.
    When i apply this filter, nothing comes up.
    Does it work for https also?

    I am using URL: https://www.twitter.com/sessions/

    oops, does NOT work for HTTPS. But you can try the other sniffing methods in the link.

    Seriously though, if there is no API to do whatever you are trying to do, you should NOT be doing this.
    1. IANAL, but I think it might NOT be legal without the site owner's approval.
    2. As others have pointed out, parsing HTML is never a robust solution. Your solution is going to break, once they decide to make a tiny change in their layout and it will be a PITA to debug, once that happens.
